For South Asian singles ready for the real thing
Like your auntie’s matchmaking. Without your auntie.
A marriage app for South Asian singles in the US and Canada. Short video profiles, voice notes, and real compatibility on what actually matters: faith, family, values, lifestyle, and personality.
Free to join. Built for marriage. Built for South Asians.
You’re not bad at this. The apps are.
They weren’t built for marriage. They weren’t built for how South Asians actually date. And you’ve been carrying the weight of that for a while now.
You know the drill
- Three weeks of texting, only to find out he’s “not really thinking about marriage right now.”
- Gym mirror selfies. Suit photos from a wedding in 2019. Bios that just say “ask me.”
- “What do your parents do?” as an opening line.
- A profile that tells you nothing, then a conversation that goes nowhere.
- The same forty faces every time you open the app.
- Your mom’s tone when she asks, “any updates?”
We built it the way it should have been built the first time.
Profiles you watch, not just scroll. Voice notes instead of dead air DMs. Compatibility you can actually see before you’ve wasted three weeks finding out.
On Rishta Auntie, profiles aren’t a grid of photos and a one-line bio. They’re short videos, voice answers, and real prompts, so meeting someone on the app actually feels like meeting them.
Less guessing. Less ghosting. Less “where is this going.”
The Rishta Compass, see alignment before you spend weeks guessing.
Why it actually works.
Every part of the app was built around one question: would this help you find the right person faster, with less guessing and more clarity?
Video Profiles
You see who someone really is before you say a word.
Short video profiles and voice answers replace the photo grid. You see how they talk, how they laugh, and how they carry themselves before the first message.

Add your videos, voice, and prompts. Show how you talk, what you care about, and the kind of partner you’re actually looking for.
2) Take the Rishta Compass assessment
Answer thoughtful questions that power compatibility insights across personality, values, family, lifestyle, and timeline.
3) Discover real people with real signal

4) Engage like a human
Like a photo. Drop a voice note. Comment on the thing that made you smile.
5) Take it from app to in person
When the connection feels right, Spots by Rishta Auntie (Coming Soon) helps you find culturally relevant cafés, chai spots, and first date locations.
THE MODERN RISHTA GAME
Same goal as our parents. Very different world.
They had family networks, cousin referrals, and the auntie down the street who knew everyone’s everyone. We have apps, DMs, mutuals, and a wedding season group chat that never sleeps.
The setting changed. The stakes didn’t. You’re still trying to figure out compatibility, family fit, values, and whether this is the one you build a life with.
The rishta game moved to apps, DMs, and coffee shops. The need for compatibility, trust, and intention didn’t go anywhere.
Stop swiping. Start meeting.
Free to join. Built for marriage. Built for South Asians.
Got a cousin deep in the rishta trenches? Send this their way. They’ll thank you eventually.
